About

Kaltura's content moderation feature allows managers and moderators to approve or reject media before it becomes publicly accessible, ensuring that all content aligns with community standards.

Access pending media

1. Access your course, then on the left menu bar, click on Media Gallery.

Depending on your account setup, you might access the Media Gallery differently. See your Kaltura Administrator for further information.

The Media Gallery displays.

If there is pending media, a notification displays under the banner: [x] items pending approval. View list.

Moderate pending content

Click the link (View list) or go to the Actions menu and select Manage Content.

The 'Manage content' page displays.

In the left navigation panel, click Content moderation

The 'Content moderation' page displays.

The Content moderation page shows all media pending moderation, organized in a card format for easy review.

If content moderation hasn’t been enabled yet, use the toggle at the top of the page to enable it. Once enabled, new media submitted to the gallery will require approval before becoming visible.

Moderate content

Filter pending content

Use filters to narrow the moderation list and focus on the content you want to review. Filters are especially useful when moderating large volumes of media.

1. Click Filters.
2. Select one or more filter options.



The moderation list updates automatically based on your selection.

Review media before approving or rejecting

To review media in detail before making a moderation decision, open it in the Explore panel by clicking the Explore link.

The Explore panel displays the following information:

• Media thumbnail
• Approve / Reject buttons
• Media name
• Name of publisher
• Creation date
• Media type
• Number of views
• Number of likes
• Description

You can approve or reject the content while remaining on the same page.

To see where the media is already published, click the Published icon in the status line. This helps you understand how approving or rejecting the media may affect other locations.

Search moderated content

Use the search function to quickly find specific media in the moderation list, especially when reviewing large volumes of content.

To search, type a keyword into the search field and press 'enter'. If no results are found, a message displays indicating no matches.

If no results are found, a message will display indicating no matches:

Approve or reject media

For each media item, you can take action directly from the list or from the 'Explore' panel.

• Click Approve (green) to publish the media. Approved content will be added to the gallery immediately. 
If enabled by the admin, a confirmation box will appear after clicking approve or reject, asking for final confirmation before the action is taken: Are you sure you want to reject/approve [media title]?
• Click Reject (red) to prevent the media from being added to the gallery.

After approving or rejecting media, a confirmation message displays: Media was [approved/rejected].

Bulk approve or reject media

You can approve or reject multiple media items at the same time.

1. Select one or more media items using the checkboxes.
2. Click Approve or Reject at the top of the page.



A confirmation message displays: Are you sure you want to approve [number] media?

3. Click Approve.

After bulk moderation, a success message confirms: [number] media approved & [number] media rejected.
